Dear all,
May I post a topic please as a new member?
It is a bit of a "fun" topic, not to be taken too serious.
However: How much does design impact on final selection? The X-32 was probably the worst looking design ever, a big laugh. Nobody in their right mind could submit this and expect to win? or what?
Whether X-32 could "do the trick" migh have been besides the point as the "sailor inhaler" looked ugly.
Now, is good design in military aircraft by coincidence or do we have "designers" to make it look good?
"Good looking":
F4 (mean machine)
F16
Not so good:
F-8
F105
Comments?
